In January 2004, the agreement was signed for the acquisition of the Gorshkov and its aircraft. The ship was to undergo a four and a half year refit in which she would be extensively refitted and nearly 80% of her equipment replaced with modern equivalents. She would serve the Navy for over two decades, during which period the indigenous Air Defence Ship should enter service. ----------------------- Vice Admiral GM Hiranandani in Transition to Eminence -----------------------
